Publisher Description
Mortician Tennessee England lives to honor the dead. But a slow season means she's back freelancing as a party planner. Doctor Phillip Saint James warns the stress might worsen her cerebral aneurysm, causing all sorts of mystifying symptoms.
To her disgust, he's right. She's been hallucinating a sexy ghost samurai all damn day. Or has she? His icy touch on the nape of her neck feels awfully real! So do his dire warnings that she must choose a side: mortal or immortal.
Ghost or not, Tennessee knows how to make a problem, and a body, disappear. But when thrust face-to-face with her paranormal stalker, she confronts a bizarre new reality. Her hallucination is real! And so are demons…
Shackled by circumstance, Tennessee wrangles overprotective friends and a spirited love triangle as she learns the dangerous trade of demon recall. She doesn't have time to die. She's got a Santa to hire, a corpse to eulogize, and a hot ghost boyfriend to keep away from her doting doctor.
Will Tennessee survive long enough to celebrate Christmas? Will she succumb to a demon's deadly deal? Or will she follow her doctor's orders?
Customer Reviews
It’s unlike any other urban fantasy story I’ve ever read.
I picked up Stone Cold Mortal on a complete whim. It was just one of those books that popped up as a recommended read from Voracious Readers Only. Meh…why not. Wow! So glad I did. This book was amazeballs. It had a bit of a slow start for me but once I warmed up to it, there was no putting it down.
No lie here. Took me a bit to warm up to the book only because I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Quick rundown: Tennessee is a mortician, on limited time due to cerebral aneurysm, who does freelance party planning for extra money. All that right there alone had me SMH and exclaiming “what?!” Her doctor (Who is also her ex!) tells her stress might worsen her aneurysm and cause more symptoms. That is, if you call a seeing a hot ghost samurai a symptom. Or is he because those demons and her paranormal stalker sure do seem real. Holy cow what more can you add to that?! How about overprotective friends and a Santa party to plan. Yeah this is going to be one crazy ride.
Tennessee is amazing. She’s sassy, funny and just one of those characters you wish were real so you can hang out with them. The secondary characters, AKA Ten’s overprotective friends, are a colorful bunch that, once you get them all organized in your head, you can’t help but love them. There’s a fun progressive flow to the story that hooked me in with so many ‘But wait! There’s more’ situations that keep popping up. Yes, this is one busy book, and just when you think nothing more could happen, it does!
What a great start of a series! Author Disa Dawn has certainly grabbed my attention with Stone Cold Mortal. It’s unlike any other urban fantasy story I’ve ever read. A demon battling mortician and a ghost samurai, come on folks! How crazy is that? And yet it works so much so I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
Can’t wait for more adventures!
A great read with amazing characters that I completely love - Tennessee, Godzilla, Sho, Saint James and more. Tennessee with her heart of gold and wanting all for everyone but herself...you can’t help but want to cheer her on to victory. Totally loved the island references (red rice, Santa Marian Kamalen, ...). Can’t wait to see what other adventures she goes on.
Can’t wait for more!
This book was fun from start to finish! I fell in love with the characters, and I can’t wait for the next book. This quirky story has a great balance of heart, sassy humor, and suspense. I don’t normally read books that have anything to do with demons because they tend to creep me out, but this is no horror story. The author manages to weave a magical tale that combines friendship, love, and demon-slaying in perfect proportion while highlighting the beauty and humor that can be found in everyday life (and even in death). Two thumbs way up!!
